General description
NMP, effective solvent for organic and inorganic compounds. Tertiary amides in H-bond basicity are decreased by bulky substituents on carbon than bulky substituents on nitrogen. It is also an effective solvent for the decarbonylation of aldehydes. It exhibits as reagent and amidines formed from NMP exist as amidine-enediamine tautomers. As cosolvent it has ability to enhance the reactivity of other reagents.
